About Destinee
Destinee Abrego is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered work to help people reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address addictions and depression. Parents and adults can expect clear, direct support and steady guidance through difficult feelings.
Her approach starts with building trust. She listens first and makes space for each person's experience. Sessions focus on immediate concerns and small, doable steps rather than long lectures or vague plans.
Background and approach
Destinee uses a mix of methods adapted to each client's needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical behavior therapy skills teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Motivational interviewing supports people facing substance use or motivational barriers. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help clients feel heard and stay grounded during hard moments. The work emphasizes strengths, not blame, and looks for real-life strategies that fit daily routines.
Clients often come with relationship stress, communication problems, or complicated family issues. Other common concerns include chronic pain or health-related stress, attachment and abandonment worries, and struggles tied to kink or alternative sex culture. Sessions address the issues people bring and focus on concrete changes they can try between meetings.
Destinee practices in Texas and offers sessions in English. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic goals they can achieve over time.
Therapeutic approaches that adapt well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions, which can make online sessions feel collaborative and respectful.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is well suited to remote work because clients can practice skills between sessions and report back on what changed.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and staying steady in crisis moments. DBT techniques translate easily to online formats and can be taught in short, practical exercises during a session.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats as needs change.
